James R. Bright

Mr.
Bright has been with Spieth Bell since 1976, with a
concentration on estate and trust practice for the last
24 years. In addition to traditional estate planning
advice (A-B Trusts), he has extensive experience in
many sophisticated estate planning techniques, including
generation-skipping transfers, charitable lead and remainder
trusts, wealth replacement trusts, and private foundations.
Mr. Bright continues to advise individual and corporate
Executors and Trustees on tax and administration issues
relating to trusts and estates. Many of his clients
have made significant taxable lifetime gifts in the
form of generation-skipping transfers, outright gifts
to children, or charitable lead trusts, and Mr. Bright
has provided the gift tax advice to help with the overall
saving of transfer taxes. He is also a Fellow of the
American College of Trust and Estate Counsel. He received
his A.B. degree from Princeton University and his J.D.
degree from Georgetown University Law Center.
